Haven't looked at it. There seems to be a problem with 5.005, but I 
haven't checked it with 5.6. The problem was an apparent bug in Perl
where __DATA__ sections were being read without being called, messing
up the configuration file read.

Basically, any time you have a core dump or a libXXXXX.so not found
error, it is not a bug in the perl-based application. There could be
library problems with DBI, Storable, or something else. I have never
tried to isolate it. -DUSE_THREADS was and remains alpha.
